Adventures in Monotangle #2

First of all I want to thank everyone who took part in “The
adventures in Monotangles #1,” I was hoping that I would get 10 people to take
part in my 1st challenge and you all smashed that. I have 20 people
as of today, twice what I wanted.

OK on to the adventure: There is a tangle’s name out there that when spoken, tends to be
spoken with great love, or great fear. This is one of the few tangle’s that it
seems everyone loves but many people have trouble with. It also happens to be
one of my favorite. It is currently #2, right behind Indy-Rella, and was my favorite
until I learned Indy.

The challenge is to use Padarox outside the box. Come up
with a new way to use it. It is normally in square or triangle area, so figure
it out in a circle. Push the number of side. I myself pushed it up into 3D. I printed
out an Icosahedron pattern, tangled it, then folded it. I am very happy at how
it turned out.

IM SCARED! I keep looking at the instructions...and its like my brain is JUST NOT getting it. would you believe that the paradox is the one and only VERY OBVIOUS mistake i made in one of my earlier tangles? yup. it was bad. i need to pop an anxiety pill. eeeekkk! okay, im breathing...i can do this. yes, yes i can. come on monica, overcome the fear. okay...here i go!

And it's just a piece of paper after all that--who cares how many times you screw up til it sticks in your hand and brain? Just do it! Once you get it you will feel superior, as do the rest of us who can just toss it off (like me--want to see my (huge) pile of practice sheets?)GO, Monica!

Well Roy I entered twice I winged it on my own sorry for all my mistakes,my teacher was napping when I made my post's hope to get myself together and do things right soon. Again forgive me please.Cecile

I really try to respond to most comments that are posted here. I also try to look at each new entry as it is linked, and leave a constructive comment about the entry. This weekend I may not be posting a lot. I am either getting a cold or the flu, and I am grumpy about it. I plan on spending much of the weekend in bed. I do plan on trying to get the slide show for Adventures #1 done and posted though.

Oh sorry your not feeling the best Roy, look after yourself and have plenty of rest. I've been waiting on the perfect time to try a Tetrahedron and this challenge was just the thing - Your 3D paradox is wonderful!

About Me

I am what is known as a Jack of all trades, I tend to be good at whatever I put my mind to (aside from caulking, still have trouble trying to caulk.) I have tried my hand at many jobs, and currently I am working in the admissions office of a law school. I love the work and my co-workers, so I stick around
